Fight Against Unfair Verdict: 1,000 Gather to Support JAL Struggle

More than 1,000 supporters gathered in Tokyo
on July 26 for 165 pilots and flight attendants who were unfairly dismissed at
the end of 2010. Although the company was still in rehabilitation, JAL already
saw record-high operating profit of more than 100 billion yen at the time and
had fulfilled the restructuring target. The company’s forced dismissal of 165
workers was intended to bust the union, and it was threatening the aviation
safety. (By KITA Kenichi)
